Winter weather services in Haltom City, TX keep your commercial property safe and accessible during North Texas ice and snow events in an established industrial community in central Tarrant County. C & D Commercial Services has been doing winter weather work across Tarrant County and DFW for over 40 years. Haltom City sits in central Tarrant County, adjacent to Fort Worth. IH-35W runs through the city, with NE 28th Street and Belknap Street as primary commercial arteries. The city has a mix of industrial properties along the IH-35W corridor and established retail along the surface streets. The industrial properties handle truck traffic from the IH-35W corridor, and the truck traffic creates specific winter weather challenges. The established properties from the 1960s through 1990s have mature trees along the corridors that create shaded areas where ice persists longer. The expansive clay soil in Tarrant County creates additional hazards during freeze-thaw cycles. The proximity to Fort Worth means the properties serve both local traffic and Fort Worth commuter traffic.
We work with property managers, business owners, and facility directors in Haltom City who need pre-treatment, de-icing, snow removal, and ongoing maintenance during winter weather events. Our crews handle the industrial corridors and the established retail areas.
Our winter weather method starts before the event. We monitor forecasts and pre-treat commercial properties before precipitation begins. For Haltom City industrial properties along IH-35W, the truck traffic means the pre-treatment needs to be applied early and thoroughly. The loading dock areas and the truck traffic routes need to be treated first, as the trucks need clear access for the industrial operations. The NE 28th Street and Belknap Street retail properties see commuter traffic, and the pre-treatment needs to be applied before the traffic arrives.
During the event, we dispatch crews to treat and clear the properties. For ice events, we apply rock salt and magnesium chloride to break down the ice accumulation. The truck traffic on the industrial properties compacts snow into ice, which requires magnesium chloride for effective treatment. The mature trees along the corridors create shaded areas where ice persists longer than in open areas. These shaded areas need extra treatment and attention. The expansive clay soil can heave during freeze-thaw cycles, creating uneven pavement surfaces and additional trip hazards. The established properties from the 1960s through 1990s may have settled over the years, creating low spots where water and ice accumulate.
After the event, we return for follow-up treatment. The refreeze cycles mean any melting ice can refreeze overnight. For the industrial properties, the return visits need to account for the truck traffic. For the retail properties, the return visits need to be scheduled before the business hours. Our magnesium chloride treatment lowers the freezing point and prevents refreeze, but for extended events, we schedule return visits. The shaded areas under the mature trees may need more frequent re-treatment.
For the established properties, the parking lots may have settled over the decades, creating low spots where water and ice accumulate. These low spots need extra treatment with magnesium chloride to break down the thicker ice.
Our winter weather services include pre-treatment, de-icing, snow removal, and follow-up treatment. Pre-treatment with brine or magnesium chloride is applied before forecast events. De-icing with rock salt and magnesium chloride breaks down existing ice. Snow removal with plows and shovels clears parking lots and walkways.
For Haltom City industrial properties along IH-35W, the truck traffic creates specific treatment challenges. The loading dock areas need to be clear for the truck traffic, and the truck routes through the parking lots need to be treated first. The heavy trucks can compact snow into ice, which requires magnesium chloride. The diesel exhaust can create a film on the pavement. The industrial operations may need 24/7 treatment for ongoing truck traffic.
For NE 28th Street and Belknap Street properties, the treatment needs to cover the parking lots and walkways for the retail traffic. The mature trees along the corridors create shaded areas that need extra treatment. The established parking lots may have settled, creating low spots that need extra treatment. The storefront entrances need thorough treatment for the pedestrian traffic.
We also provide hand-applied treatment for sensitive areas. The entrances to buildings, the handicap accessible routes, and the high-traffic walkways need careful application. For the industrial properties, the loading dock entrances and the worker entrances need thorough treatment. For the retail properties, the storefront entrances need thorough treatment.
For extended events, we provide ongoing maintenance. The crews return to the property periodically to re-treat and clear new accumulation. The industrial properties need treatment for the ongoing truck traffic. The retail properties need treatment before the business hours. The shaded areas under the mature trees may need more frequent re-treatment. We monitor the conditions throughout the event and adjust the schedule as needed.
We also provide ice melt delivery for property managers who want to handle small areas themselves.

The industrial corridor along IH-35W sees truck traffic throughout the day, and the winter weather treatment needs to account for the industrial operations. The loading docks need to be clear for the truck traffic. We schedule the pre-treatment and the event response around the truck traffic patterns. The NE 28th Street and Belknap Street retail hours create specific windows when the parking lots need to be clear.
For extended events, we schedule return visits to re-treat before the overnight refreeze. The industrial properties may need more frequent return visits due to the truck traffic. The retail properties need return visits before the business hours. The shaded areas under the mature trees may need more frequent re-treatment. We monitor the conditions throughout the event and adjust the schedule as needed.
